Indian American Sonika Vaid cracks Top 10 at American Idol
Los Angeles (DIYA TV) — American Idol hopeful Sonika Vaid on Thursday advanced to the top 10 in the final season of the singing competition. Just 14 contestants remained heading into the live episode, four were eliminated; Vaid, an Indian American from Martha's Vineyard, stood tall as one of the 10 who advanced.
"The way your voice sits in the music is so out of this world," judge Jennifer Lopez said, adding Vaid has a "voice from God."
On Thursday, Vaid performed "Bring Me to Life" by Evanesence, a performance of which left the crowd, and likely the viewers, in shock and awe. She also sung a rendition of Celine Dion's "I Surrender," which drew rave reviews. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay had this to say of Vaid's voice:
Wow what a voice https://t.co/9Y79gkXeHt

Google launches mobile payment App Tez tailored to Indian users
Google launches mobile payment App Tez tailored to Indian users
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (Diya TV) — Following vast speculation, Google officially launched a mobile payment platform for the Indian market, called Tez.
Available for Android and iOS users in India, Tez initiates Google's entry into the mobile payment industry in India. The app allow users to link their smartphones with their bank accounts and pay for goods and services online and at traditional brick-and-mortar stores.
Users can also make person-to-person instant money transfers, similar to PayPal.
With Tez, users pay directly from their bank account, using a Unified Payments Interface. Currently, the app works with all major banks, including Google partners Axis, HDFC Bank, ICICI and State Bank of India.
Tez is not a mobile wallet like PayTM and MobiKwik. Rather, instead of users storing money, it works more like Apple Wallet, linking the bank account, allowing payments to be deducted from the account.
According to Tez, it's Tez Shield built-in security "helps to detect fraud, prevent hacking, and verify your identity." Each transaction is secured with the user's UPI PIN. Additionally, the app is secured with a Google PIN or a screen lock method such as fingerprint.
Tez says the app has partnered with a myriad of apps and vendors, including RedBus, PVR, Domino's, Dish TV and Jet Airways. The app supports multiple languages: English, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu.
Business owners can use the Tez with their current account to start accepting digital payments. Payments will go directly to their bank accounts "without any additional cost incurred for the transaction."
During a launch event in Delhi, Caesar Sengupta, the head of Google's Next Billion program said the app "works with the vast majority of Android smartphones in the country."
The app launch took place on Sept. 18 with India Finance Minister Arun Jaitley saying, "Tez by Google is perhaps the simplest form of monetary transactions."
Since launching on Google Play and iTunes store, the app has received positive reviews by users. On the Android platform, of nearly 15,000 reviews and over 100,000 users, the app has a 3.8 star rating, with over half of the reviews being 5-star. On the Apple platform, Tez has a 4.5-star rating with 15 reviews.
Mahindra and Ford Announce Strategic Cooperation
DEARBORN, Mich. (Diya TV) — Designed at leveraging the benefits of Ford and Mahindra's strengths, Mahindra Group and Ford Motor Company announced a strategic alliance.
A Sept. 18 announcement by Ford says the "agreement between the two companies will allow each to leverage their mutual strengths during a period of unprecedented transformation in the global automotive industry."
Areas of cooperation include:mobility programs; connected vehicle projects; electrification; product development; sourcing and commercial efficiencies; distribution within India; improving Ford's reach within India; and improving Mahindra's reach beyond India.

Ford and Mahindra will work together for a period of up to three years. Following that the period may be extended.
"The changes facing the automotive industry globally are triggered by the accelerated rise of new technologies, sustainability policies and new models of urban shared mobility. Given these changes we see the need to anticipate new market trends, explore alternatives and look for ways to collaborate even as we compete and build powerful synergies that will allow rapid exploitation of the exciting new opportunities …," said Dr. Pawan Goenka, managing director, Mahindra and Mahindra.
Mahindra is one of the leading utility vehicle manufacturers in India for over 70 years.
Mahindra owns a majority stake in Ssangyong Motor Company in Korea and is developing products like the GenZe – the world's first electric connected scooter.
Ford is one of the largest exporters of cars from the U.S., manufacturing and exporting vehicles and engines from its manufacturing facilities in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and Sanand, Gujarat. India is also the second-largest Ford employee base globally, with more than 14,000 people working across the Ford India and Global Business Services operations in New Delhi, Chennai, and Coimbatore.
The Mahindra Group is a $19 billion federation of companies focused on "innovative mobility solutions, driving rural prosperity, enhancing urban living, nurturing new businesses and fostering communities."
It is the world's largest tractor company, by volume. It also enjoys a strong presence in agribusiness, components, commercial vehicles, consulting services, energy, industrial equipment, logistics, real estate, steel, aerospace, defense and motorcycles. Mahindra employs over 200,000 people across 100 countries.
Ford Motor Company is a global company based in Dearborn, Michigan. The company designs, manufactures, markets and services cars, trucks, SUVs, electrified vehicles and Lincoln luxury vehicles. Ford employs approximately 203,000 people worldwide.
The two companies had a brief 1995 partnership for manufacturing the Ford Escort. However, after three years, the partnership ceased.

Duke University Opens India office in Bengaluru
DURHAM, N.C. (Diya TV) — North Carolina-based private research university Duke University recently opened an India office in Bengaluru to foster its collaborations with Indian universities and organizations.
Duke University India "aims to expand the existing Duke-India partnerships, which include academic exchange programs and research collaborations," Duke Today reported.
According to the report, the University's current partners in India include NITI-Aayog, the Center for Environmental Planning and Technology University in Ahmedabad, Narayana Health City, IIM – Udaipur, IIM – Ahmedabad, and IIT- Gandhinagar.
Duke hosted a launch event on Sept. 18, celebrating the commencement of operations, featuring a conversation between Dr. Michael Merson, vice president and vice provost for global affairs at Duke and Dr. Devi Shetty, chairman and founder of Narayana Health.
"I think we cannot think of education if we don't think of global education," Namrata Jha, executive director of Duke University India said in a video posted by Duke Global. "Duke University has opened a new office in India, based in Bangalore to create more partnerships – research collaborations, university partnerships, more student exchange, faculty exchange, going to India and understanding about Indian culture, more student exchange, faculty exchange, going to India and understanding about Indian culture, learning from the community, giving back to the community. And my team at Duke University's office in India will be working with faculty at Duke to make that happen."
"India is unique. While it has lots of challenges, it is also a hub of intellect, of forward-looking thinking, young minds. It's a fertile ground for doing something groundbreaking in this world. If the technological innovation and great minds of Duke University could tap into the young minds of India, I think we can create wonders," she added.
Duke University is located in Durham, North Carolina. More than 430 Indian students are currently enrolled there and nearly 700 Duke Alumni live in India.

Green fireballs that streaked across the sky and rolled down an Australian mountainside four years ago, spurring reports of UFOs in the area, might have been meteors and ball lightning, a researcher suggests.
At least three traffic-light green fireballs brighter than the moon but not as bright as the sun blazed over northeast Australia on May 16, 2006. A farmer saw one with a blue tapering tail pass over the mountains of the Great Divide about 75 miles (120 kilometers) west of Brisbane, then watched a phosphorescent green ball about 12 inches wide (30 centimeters wide) roll slowly down the side of a mountain, bouncing over a rock along the way. [Image of green fireball]
Green fireballs have been seen many times in the sky, and are typically explained as meteors whose shockwaves lead to electrically charged oxygen similar to that seen in auroras. In fact, a commercial airline pilot who landed in New Zealand that day reported seeing a meteor breaking up into fragments, which turned green as the bits descended in the direction of Australia.
The timing of the fireballs suggests they might have been debris from Comet 73P/Schwassmann–Wachmann 3, said physicist Stephen Hughes at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane.

The green ball the farmer saw roll down the slope was almost certainly not a meteorite, Hughes said. No perfectly round meteorite a foot wide has ever been found, and if it were one, it wouldn't be rolling slowly down a hill.
Instead, Hughes suggests it might have been ball lightning, mysterious glowing orbs of light usually seen during thunderstorms. The green fireball might have provided an electrical connection between the ground and the ionized layer of atmosphere known as the ionosphere, providing the energy needed for ball lightning.
Meteors are often mistaken for UFOs, as are lightning, balloons and military experiments.
"A transient electrical link between the ionosphere and ground, created by meteors or some other means, could help to solve the mystery of many UFO sightings," Hughes told LiveScience. "Since such balls would be very insubstantial, they would be able to move and change direction very fast, as has often been observed."
Hughes detailed his findings online Nov. 30 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A.

Personhood Supporters Continue Efforts After Mississippi Defeat
Proposed ballot initiative intended to recognize legal personhood from conception onward failed to pass this week, but pro-lifers are not giving up.
Mississippi's proposed ballot initiative intended to recognize legal personhood from conception onward failed to pass on Tuesday, Nov. 8, but its backers resolved to continue their work.
With about 90% of the vote counted on the evening of Nov. 8, Initiative 26 was failing by 58% to 42%.
"Changing a culture — and changing a country — will not happen with one election, and so, it is not unexpected. We thank the over one-quarter of a million Mississippians who voted for Amendment 26," said Keith Mason, president and co-founder of initiative Personhood USA.
"We vow to continue on this path towards affirming the basic dignity and human rights of all people, because we are assured that it is the right thing to do, and we are prepared for a long journey."
Mason said the initiative enjoyed the "widest, broadest base of support" ever seen on a pro-life amendment.
"This alone demonstrates that the tide is turning in America," he said Nov. 9.
Other backers also weighed in.
"We are disappointed, but not discouraged. We are going to continue the fight for those who can't fight for themselves," Rev. Jimmy Porter, executive director of the Christian Action Commission of the Mississippi Baptist Convention, told the Jackson Clarion-Ledger.
Mason said the campaign "fell victim to the outright lies of our opposition, and because of their lies, children will continue to be murdered in Mississippi."
Opponents included groups that support legal abortion as well as those who feared it would ban birth control pills, IVF treatments and procedures necessary to save the life of a pregnant mother in medically dangerous pregnancies.
Critics also objected to its lack of exceptions for abortion in cases of incest or rape.
The Planned Parenthood Federation of America argued the initiative "would have allowed government to have control over personal decisions that should be left up to a woman, her family, her doctor and her faith."
Meanwhile, Catholic Bishop Joseph Latino of Jackson, Miss., was neutral on the initiative. In an Oct. 28 letter, he expressed support for the amendment's goals but voiced concerns about the unintended legal challenges the initiative could create.
Similar amendments backed by the Colorado-based Personhood USA were placed on the Colorado ballot in 2008 and 2010 and also failed to pass.
Mason told Catholic News Agency in an interview before the election that past political successes like the abolition of slavery, the women's suffrage movement and the civil-rights movement required repeated pushes to gain support until they succeeded.
Even unsuccessful efforts can continue to gain support and can give the issue a national profile, he said.

The new device comes in two colors, Coral Blue and Cosmic Black and is priced at $249.99. Many of the basic physical features remain the same but there has been a significant amount of additions to it as well, starting with the obvious 3D screen.
Once the clam shell cover is opened, a new slider analog stick, which Nintendo calls the circle pad, is revealed just above the original direction pad which moves with great precision and accuracy. The lower screen is 3 inches wide and includes a 320 x 240 resolution while its buddy screen above is where the action takes place. Compacted into 3.5 inches, the new 3D screen has an amazingly high 800 x 240 pixel resolution.
The high resolution is a must in order for the 3D images to appear properly. Each eye needs to view 400 x 240 pixels. When the device is placed approximately 12 inches away from the face and angled appropriately, the images begin to jump off the screen.
The downside to this is that once the gamer finds the sweet spot and the eye is adjusted, any significant movement can distort you back to the land of 2D imaging. It can be a bit tedious at first, but after being perfected, it is a worthwhile experience. One handy little tool is the 3D adjustment slide that gives the gamer the option to adjust the amount of 3D being displayed.
The new console also includes, not one or two, but three cameras. Two are conveniently placed on the exterior and one in the interior, right above the 3D screen. The 0.3 megapixel cameras are designed to take up-close 3D pictures, with the precise angling of course. The camera features are very entertaining also, with the ability to merge two faces together and also taking two shots at the same time.
The console also includes six 3D image cards, including images of Mario, Samus, and Zelda, which turn into 3D when viewed through the 3D camera. They also become reality games as well.
The memory for downloadable options is stored in the built in 2GB storage space and also an SD card slot is available. The battery life can take you for up to three hours of 3D fun before it's ready for another charge up.
As far as the gaming options go, older DS games can still be played on the new device but will not be shown in 3D of course. However, Nintendo has created 30 new games that are specially designed for the 3DS, some of which include Pilotwings Resort, The Sims 3, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, and Nintendogs + Cats: Toy Poodle and New Friends.
The Nintendo 3DS is not one for all, especially if there are requirements regarding stillness and adjusting the eyes for a certain amount of time. But for those who are up for the challenge, it is certainly worth investing in.
Not only will it be for gameplay. With Netflix on board, it is only a matter of time before 3D movies can be watched and third party supporters begin to design 3D activities.

1. Um, who decided to call these things "Weight Management" salads? What a lame idea that was. Sorry, Cheesecake -- talk about a buzz kill.
2. These salads are all under 590 calories each. This seems very high to us, especially after getting the salads and seeing that there isn't much to them at all. And we're not exactly thrilled with the high fat counts, either.
3. We talked with a manager there and found out that the dressings are all made ON SITE and that the salads are all portioned out precisely (specific amount of nuts, exactly 4 oz. chicken, etc.). This is good to know. The dressings all have under 11 calories per tablespoon, are sweetened with Splenda and made with VERY little oil, and taste GREAT! We still recommend ordering the dressing on the side and dipping, because they typically DROWN their salads in the stuff! (They DO include the dressing in each salad's nutritionals, but we still find it to be a bit much.)
4. While we appreciate the idea of these salads, there are sooo many unnecessary ingredients -- like candied pecans, rice and sugary pears. With just a tiny bit of effort they could have swapped these ingredients with healthier ones and given us larger portions. In fact, you may be better off just special-ordering some of their regular salads -- skipping the fatty stuff -- and requesting the Weight Management dressings on the side.
5. All three dressings are great -- the Spicy Vinaigrette (more sweet than spicy), the Sesame-Soy Dressing (with a spicy kick and chopped cilantro), and the Mustard Vinaigrette (tangy and dijon-y). Two yums up for all!
(574 calories, 39g fat, 68g carbs, 20g sugars, 39g protein = 14 Points)
What's in it: Grilled chicken, romaine, snow peas, carrots, bean sprouts, green onions, crispy noodles, almonds and sesame seeds tossed in a low-cal sesame-soy dressing.
What we think of it: While this salad has lots of lettuce and a decent portion of tasty chicken, it definitely could use more snow peas and carrots. It also contains a HUGE amount of cilantro (mysteriously absent from the menu description), so if you don't like that stuff you may have issues with this salad. The "crispy noodles" (made from baked wontons!) are fun and delicious -- and a really good idea.
Overall score: 7.5. We'd think about ordering this again. But we're not dying to.
(490 calories, 14g fat, 61g carbs, 7g sugars, 33g protein = 10 Points)
What's in it: Grilled chicken, roasted poblano peppers, red and yellow peppers, fresh corn, black beans, onions, rice and cilantro served with mixed greens and low-cal spicy vinaigrette.
What we think of it: This so-called "salad" is basically just a medium-sized breast of fairly bland chicken over a small portion of rice with a side of lettuce. Aside from the dressing, this meal's pretty dry. All in all it's pretty embarrassing, not at all spicy and doesn't hold our interest. FYI -- this one also has TONS of cilantro.
Overall score: 5. Thumbs down, Cheesecake!
(500 calories, 23g fat, 50g carbs, 18g sugars, 28g protein = 11 Points)
What's in it: Grilled chicken, endive, radicchio, arugula, butter lettuce, roasted pear, bleu cheese, candied pecans and tomato tossed with low-cal vinaigrette.
What we think of it: This salad is pretty skimpy on everything except the lettuce, and it's not that satisfying. Part of the problem here is the decision to use candied pecans and roasted sugary pears. With additions like that, even in small doses, the calories add up FAST. Using fresh fruit and regular nuts could have solved that problem easily. While this salad tastes pretty good, we're not quite on board with the ingredients and the portion size.
Overall score: 6.5. Eh!
(560 calories, 28g fat, 43g carbs, 15g sugars, 38g protein = 13 Points)
What's in it: Grilled chicken, romaine, bacon, bleu cheese, tomato, fresh beets, asparagus and hard-cooked eggs tossed in a low-cal mustard vinaigrette.
What we think of it: We like this salad the best. It's HUGE and colorful with a nice amount of chopped chicken, bacon, bleu cheese, tomato, beets, asparagus, and eggs. It's also basically a Cobb salad, so it left us wondering why they don't just call it a Cobb salad. Any way you slice it, though, it's large and delicious and contains many fun ingredients. Yay!
Overall score: 8.5. We like you despite your unappealing name, Weight Management California Salad.
(w/ tuna: 520 calories, 22g fat, 39g carbs, 9g sugars, 43g protein = 11 – 12 Points)
(w/ salmon: 566 calories, 35g fat, 39g carbs, 8g sugars, 51g protein = 13 – 14 Points)
What's in it: Fresh chilled salmon or fresh rare albacore tuna with mixed greens, green beans, red and yellow peppers, tomato, radishes, hard-cooked egg, kalamata olives and capers tossed in a low-cal vinaigrette.
What we think of it: We ordered the tuna version of this salad; the tuna (6 pieces) is seared & pepper-encrusted. Nice! The peppers come marinated in some sort of oil or dressing which likely adds some unnecessary fat to the salad. While we aren't huge fans of fancy greens (it's hard to beat romaine!), the radishes, capers and olives add a nice touch. All in all, this is a pretty ok salad.
Overall score: 7.5. We love seared tuna. Therefore, we enjoy this salad.

Airline watchdog sees more summer travelers
More people will likely fly this summer compared with a year ago as U.S. airlines gain a record level of international passengers, an industry association said Thursday.
Airlines for America, the top U.S. airline industry group, forecasts that close to 209 million people will fly on the nation's carriers from June through August, up 1 percent from a year ago. That outlook includes 27 million international travelers, a record number, the group said Thursday.
"Our carriers' international competitiveness and their ability to tap emerging markets, where GDP growth rate is outpacing the U.S. or outpacing some of the European countries, is really what it's all about," said John Heimlich, chief economist at Airlines for America.
The summer is seasonally a strong period for airlines as people take vacations. This week, Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines said revenue trends were improving for May after softness in March and April.
Staff furloughs at U.S. air traffic control towers during a week in April caused flight delays at some airports.
Airlines for America estimated that the furloughs disrupted about 7,200 flights over the six days they were in place, affecting travel for 600,000 passengers.
The staff cuts were suspended by the Federal Aviation Administration after passage of legislation allowing the agency to shift money within its budget to end them.

State Senator Requests Insurance Audit (Feb 08, 2013)
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A Republican state senator is asking Gov. Mary Fallin to request a performance audit of the Oklahoma Insurance Department after reports of spending tens of thousands of dollars on motivational books, chamber memberships, uniforms, weapons and catering.
Sen. Harry Coates sent a letter to Fallin on Thursday requesting the audit.
The Associated Press reported in November that the agency spent more than $180,000 on shotguns, bulletproof vests and police vehicles for its anti-fraud unit. The Tulsa World detailed tens of thousands of dollars in spending by the agency on motivational books, catering, chamber memberships and other things.
Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner John Doak said in a statement that the agency commissioned a full audit in October and he says an additional audit would be a ``waste of time and money.''

NEW YORK — You're laid over in a city somewhere out there in the world with 24 hours to kill. Do you burrow into your hotel suite, fed by room service and movies-on-demand, until time to head back to the airport?
Not if you're Anthony Bourdain, globe-trotting gastronome and on-the-fly bon vivant. With no time to spare, you gorge on local cuisine, savor local sights and maximize exposure to indigenous culture. Tomorrow on the plane you can catch up on your sleep!
That, in Bourdain's words, is "the art of the layover," the finer points of which he shares on "The Layover," his new Travel Channel series premiering Monday at 9 p.m. EST.
On the debut hour, Bourdain lands in Singapore at 5 a.m., with his scheduled departure the next day at noon. The clock is ticking, and though Bourdain doesn't exhibit the franticness of Kiefer Sutherland on "24" (nor is the fate of the world at stake), "There's plenty to do," says Bourdain. And he does plenty, demonstrating the gusto fans have already come to expect on his food-adventuring travel show, "No Reservations."

Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
With teams using more than 100 unique apparatuses to launch globular projectiles a half-mile or more, the 27th annual World Championship Punkin Chunkin event is our pick as November's Weird Festival of the Month.
- Airports, airlines work hard to return your lost items
- Expert: Tourist hordes threaten Sistine Chapel's art
- MGM Grand wants Las Vegas guests to Stay Well
- Report: Airlines collecting $36.1B in fees this year
- Lords of the gourd compete for Punkin Chunkin honors
On "The Layover," Bourdain tells you which bus will get you from the airport to your hotel most efficiently. But under his tutelage, you're in your room just long enough to drop your bags: There are things to see and food to eat.
"There's all sorts of good (expletive) you can have for breakfast!" he declares as he sets out for a starter feast at a multi-stalled Hawker Center.
But besides his many recommendations, Bourdain, with delicious directness, offers warnings to any traveler who wants an authentic experience: "No one in Singapore drinks Singapore Slings. It's a disgusting drink. You don't want it. Don't waste your time."
Future episodes find Bourdain visiting New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Hong Kong, London, Rome, Montreal and Amsterdam. Bourdain, staying true to the show's no-time-to-waste creed, actually performs each hit-and-run in the few hours indicated.
"The crew arrived two days before me in Singapore and started shooting B-roll," he says, explaining the breakneck routine during a recent interview. "From the second I arrive they're shooting me, every minute. Then I fly to Hong Kong, where another crew has been shooting B-roll, and we get going. We had leapfrogging crews, alternating shows as I went from place to place.
"We were looking to do another series fast, between seasons of 'No Reservations,'" he says, "and we had accumulated a lot of knowledge over the years, me and my crew, while traveling around. Even if we weren't necessarily laid over, we have certainly found ourselves with a few hours between scenes, when the challenge is to go eat well and have a good time."
The recommendations he makes are his own. There are no fees, promotional considerations or solicitations from venues hoping for a plug, he says.
"On this show we include places that anyone lucky enough to travel internationally could try — restaurants and hotels and things to see — that I endorse. Or that I think suck and should be avoided."
In the latter category, he lumps the London Eye, the huge Ferris wheel that's become a tourist favorite: "I'm telling you up front I'm not doing it, when I could be drinking Guinness in a real English pub."
Over beer and tasty lamb burgers in a Manhattan bistro that Bourdain hand-picked, he bemoans any tourist who opts for what the mass of other tourists do, rather than investigate places frequented by locals.
Consider the time-strapped New York visitor who opts for the Statue of Liberty rather than bingeing at a world-class local deli such as Katz's or Barney Greengrass: "You've made a really terrible error, maybe one you won't regret for the rest of your life — but if you knew better, you would!"
It should be clear by now that food (and drink) is a driving force in how Bourdain, an unrepentant sensualist, greets the world. At 55, he is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and a decades-long veteran of professional kitchens, from dishwasher to chef. In 2000 he published a best-selling tell-all memoir of his experiences behind those swinging kitchen doors, "Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly," which rocked the foodie world. Other food-centric books — not just nonfiction but even crime novels — followed.
In 2005, his rollicking culinary travelogue, "No Reservations," premiered on Travel Channel. (The first episode: "Why the French Don't Suck.")
Rumpled and rangy at 6 feet and 4 inches, often deadpan and more often outspoken, Bourdain gained a reputation early on as a bad boy chef, an angry guy of the gourmet set.
"I'm sure I benefited from those descriptions, but I didn't take it seriously in the beginning, and I certainly don't now," says Bourdain, who, in person, is a personable sort and no more edgy than a few million others in New York, which Bourdain, with his wife and 4½-year-old daughter, calls home when not dining at the far corners of the world.
"I enjoy the travel," he says, listing his job's selling points, "and I like taking you on a trip, trying to make you feel about a place the way I feel about it."
But he is not a grandstander, he insists.
"Do I get any satisfaction seeing myself on television? Zero. In a perfect world, my physical presence in front of the camera would be dispensable."
He still cooks occasionally (he'll be whipping up Thanksgiving dinner for the family) and values his years as a pro in the kitchen. But escaping its relentless demands for television has only made him more appreciative of what he left behind.
"Real work is back there," he says, motioning toward this restaurant's kitchen doors. "THAT'S ... work! I know how lucky I am!"

Everyone's familiar with the great video game burial of 1983, a disposal of Atari 2600 cartridges so bizarre it's often taken to be urban myth. No, that's really how they got rid of colossal flops like E.T. and the Pac-Man port, 30 years ago this September.
Here, Video Games Live thought it'd be funny to pose Nolan Bushnell, Atari's founder, out in the desert, pretending to dig for the lost cartridges (though they were actually crushed and buried under concrete.) Bushnell had the good humor to participate. But he's not out in the New Mexico desert, he's in Dubai, where he'd been attending Video Games Live's tour event there.

When I'm nostalgic for Japan, there is one recipe I pull out.
Though, oddly, I didn't find it in Japan nor use it when I was there.
Instead, this recipe for Teriyaki Trout was one I inherited from my family, who has been cooking it for years.
Although only really a nod to a traditional teriyaki, it is my fallback recipe when I'm longing for the Land of the Rising Sun. There, I often made an authentic teriyaki salmon that I would serve with steamed rice and a selection of tsukemono (pickles).
But this tastes just as good and the ingredients are readily available, unlike the two types of soy and mirin that usually went into my marinade when I was overseas. (These can, of course, be found at Asian grocery stores, but this recipe is built on ingredients most people have readily available in their cupboards: soy, sugar and sherry.)
This is not the thick gloppy sauce you find on supermarket shelves. This is a thin marinade that infuses the fish with that salty-sweet teriyaki flavour.
A few cloves of smashed garlic perfume the marinade without overpowering the flavours. (And, bonus, they are easy to fish out when it's time for the trout to go in the oven.)
In the beginning, my parents made this with salmon, as the original recipe calls for, but when the price of that got too dear, they started using steelhead trout. Now that's what I grab as well.
My version is a photocopy of the original, with no notation of where it came from. Even the amount of fish called for is absent from the recipe.
But I've found the marinade is enough for about two pounds of fish. I prefer to do whole sides rather than individual fillets or steaks, though please use what you want.
Since it's usually only me dining, I often make the full batch of marinade and divide it between two pieces of fish, throwing one into the freezer for dinner at a later date. I'll pull it out in the morning and let it sit in the fridge. As it thaws, it continues to infuse the teriyaki flavour into the fish and by the time I get home from work, it's ready to cook, which, some nights, is exactly the kind of meal I like to have around.
When I'm a little homesick for the rice paddies and stunted hills of the small town in Japan where I lived, I make this dish, serving it with rice and some steamed green vegetables. Sometimes, when I'm really feeling nostalgic, I also make quick pickles -thin slices of de-seeded cucumbers left to sit in a bath of rice vinegar, sugar and salt.
The tangy flavour is a nice balance to the rich fish.
Teriyaki Trout
- 2 pounds (1 kg) steelhead trout, side or steaks
- 1 cup (250 mL) soy sauce
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) sherry (drinking, not cooking)
- 2 tablespoons (25 mL) sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 tablespoons (25 mL) grated ginger or ginger paste
Combine the soy, sherry, sugar, garlic and ginger in a bag or flat dish. Add the trout. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place fish in a casserole dish (if using steaks, grease the dish slightly so they can be easily removed) and bake until fish is cooked and flakes easily, about 12 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.
Quick Japanese Pickles
The amount of salt and sugar can be easily adjusted for taste. I use Maldon flaked sea salt, which has a milder flavour. Sea salt can be easily substituted, but start with just 1 tsp (5 mL) and add more only if needed. The rice vinegar should be unseasoned.
- 1 English cucumber (or 3-4 small cucumbers)
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon (15 mL) sugar
- 1½ teaspoons (7 mL) flaked sea salt
- 2 tablespoons (25 mL) water
Slice cucumbers in half and use a small spoon to scrape out seeds. Slice on a diagonal into ½-cm half-moons. Stir together vinegar, sugar, salt and water and mix until salt and sugar have dissolved. Add cucumber slices, tossing them with brine. Let rest in the fridge for at least an hour, tossing occasionally.

If he had it his way, Kelechi Osemele wouldn't be moving anywhere. The Ravens would re-sign free agent left tackle Bryant McKinnie and the offensive line, minus the retired Matt Birk, would start the 2013 season like it ended last year.
"It would be good to have that same lineup but things change and you have to be able to adapt," Osemele said Tuesday.
After just one NFL season, Osemele has learned that lesson already. A second-round pick in 2012, Osemele started all 16 regular-season games for the Ravens at right tackle, a position that he hadn't played extensively in several years. When the playoffs began, Osemele was shifted to left guard to accommodate McKinnie's insertion into the starting lineup.
The alignment, which included Michael Oher moving from left to right tackle, was cited as one of the primary reasons quarterback Joe Flacco and the Ravens' offense excelled in the playoffs. Now, as he prepares for his sophomore season, Osemele sits atop the Ravens' depth chart at left tackle.
Osemele, 23, said that he hasn't been told by head coach John Harbaugh that he is going to play left tackle. However, Harbaugh and other team officials said last week that if the season was to start soon, Osemele would get the assignment of protecting Flacco's blindside.
"If that's the situation, then I'm good with it. Wherever they put me, I'll play to the best of my ability," Osemele said. "I would be very comfortable. As far as the footwork goes — having played it my whole college career and starting every game at that position — I think I'd be fairly comfortable with that switch."
Things can change quickly in the NFL and general manager Ozzie Newsome said just last week that the Ravens are "very open" as far as their left tackle plans. The Ravens have 12 picks in this week's draft, including the 32nd overall selection of Thursday's first round. However, the top three left tackles are projected to be gone within the top 10 picks.
Negotiations with McKinnie also remain ongoing and his return, which Osemele endorsed, would likely result in Osemele remaining at left guard. It's unclear how serious the Ravens are about moving Osemele to left tackle, but there are clearly members of the organization, including owner Steve Bisciotti, who are intrigued by the thought.
"He's done it," Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta said last week. "He did it at Iowa State.
"We've seen him play left tackle well. He's a smart guy. He's motivated. He's got long arms. He's a good athlete. He can bend. All those things factor into the equation."
Ravens running back Ray Rice also said that he'd be comfortable with Osemele on the left side and he feels that he could handle it both from a physical and mental standpoint.
"You have to look at a guy who has sacrificed and went from a tackle to a guard," Rice said Tuesday. "The physical side of him, I think you draft certain players and call them Ravens. He definitely fit that off the jump. You got to be a very smart football player to do what he did, especially to move from right to left to guard. They say there's a lot of interchangeable pieces but when you're moving a guy around like they moved K.O. and for him not to have the [missed assignments] and the mess-ups, that's the thing that really impresses the coaches and myself."
Osemele admitted that he had a "shaky" start to his rookie year but he got more comfortable as the season wore on. Playing right tackle, he allowed seven sacks in his first 11 games but none in his final nine, according to Pro Football Focus. The analytical web site graded him a positive pass-blocking grade and a positive overall grade. Osemele also committed eight penalties (six were false starts) in 20 games, a respectable number for a rookie who underwent a position change during the season.
Osemele struggled with speed rushers on occasions but he was clearly a more effective blocker after moving to guard. In fact, he was Pro Football Focus' second highest graded player in the Ravens' Super Bowl XLVII victory over the San Francisco 49ers, behind only Flacco, who was voted the game MVP.
"I felt like it was pretty natural with just the build of my body and everything like that," said Osemele when asked why he performed better at guard. "I felt like it was a smooth transition and a natural move for me."
Would the transition to left tackle go as smoothly? Osemele is 6-foot-5 and said he's down to 330 pounds, so his size obviously isn't an issue. However, there are questions about whether he has the foot speed to play the position. What Osemele enjoyed most above moving to guard is not having to deal with the speed of the outside pass rushers.
"Playing left tackle and right tackle is all about being comfortable in your stance and being able to get out and being able to kick," Osemele said. "If you are comfortable kicking from both sides, it doesn't make too much of a difference."
Osemele started 38 games at left tackle at Iowa State and was an All-Big 12 first-team selection in his senior season. He said all he'd need is a "few snaps" to get reacquainted with the position. McKinnie's status, along with what the Ravens do later this week in the draft, could determine whether he gets those snaps.
"I'd love to have him back here," Osemele said of McKinnie. "He's a great asset to our team, just a powerful weapon to have especially with both of us on the same side. But I trust Ozzie and those guys. They know what they're doing and they know what direction they want to [take] our team into. Whatever they decide to do, I trust them fully. … As long as I'm on the field, and we have the best linemen on the field, that's what's most important to me, giving the team the best possible chance to win games."

Proclaiming himself relieved that he didn't seriously aggravate his sprained right ankle Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, Ravens starting inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe expects to be at almost full capacity for Saturday's AFC divisional playoff game against the Denver Broncos.
"Yeah, I did everything at practice," Ellerbe said. "It wasn't too bad. I should be myself out there."
Ellerbe has dealt with several injuries this season, including a broken thumb, a sprained thumb, a left foot injury and the right ankle injury suffered against the San Diego Chargers that sidelined him for the Ravens' 34-17 loss in December against the Broncos and two other games.
A pending unrestricted free agent, Ellerbe finished second on the defense with 89 tackles during the regular season and also recorded a career-high 4 1/2 sacks.
Ellerbe said the Ravens have plenty of motivation for this one outside of the obvious angle of wanting payback after being routed by the top-seeded Broncos at M&T Bank Stadium.
"It's win or go home," Ellerbe said. "I ain't going to say we owe them one, but it's about winning. It's not about grudges. It's about getting this Super Bowl for Ray Lewis."

text: LaFee emerged as one of the brightest new stars in German pop at the age of just 16. Born Christina Klein on December 9, 1990, in Aachen, she first attracted national attention in 2004, appearing on the RTL television network amateur showcase Kiddy Contest. Producer Bob Arnz extended a record deal, and in early 2006 LaFee issued her debut single, "Virus," the first of four consecutive Top 40 singles including "Prinzesschen," "Was Ist Das?," and "Mitternacht." Her self-titled debut LP went on to top the German and Austrian charts, as did her second, 2007's Jetzt Erst Recht, which was released through EMI. In 2008, LaFee released Shut Up, her first English album. By her exceptionally high standards up to that point, the record was unsuccessful. Peaking outside the Top 20 in both Austria and Germany, Shut Up also failed to help her break into other European territories. Not letting this slow her down, LaFee bounced back with the high-selling Ring Frei and a greatest-hits album in 2009 before releasing Frei in 2011. ~ Jason Ankeny

The Arizona Diamondbacks and infielder Eric Chavez agreed to terms on a $3 million, one-year contract Wednesday, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because nothing had been finalized. Chavez's new deal is pending a physical. In addition, the Diamondbacks reached agreement on a one-year deal with catcher Wil Nieves, another person said on condition of anonymity because Nieves still needed to complete a physical to make it official.
The 34-year-old Chavez hit .281 with 16 homers in 278 at-bats for the New York Yankees, playing first and third base and at designated hitter.
Chavez was six-time Gold Glove third baseman with Oakland before injuries sidelined him for significant time for several years. But he found success in a limited role with New York this season, seeing more playing time after Alex Rodriguez broke his hand in late July.
Chavez, who lives in the Phoenix area, will likely serve in a reserve role for Arizona, which has Chris Johnson at third base and Paul Goldschmidt at first.
The 35-year-old Nieves, who wasn't tendered a contract by Arizona last week, batted .306 with a home run and three RBIs in 16 games for the D-backs in 2012.
Arizona claimed him off waivers from Colorado on Aug. 6. Nieves was designated for assignment by the Rockies after hitting .298 with one homer in 16 games with the Rockies and .306 with three homers in 111 at-bats for Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Cops held woman and daughter at gunpoint over "threatening" Internet posts they had never made
Paul Joseph Watson
January 30, 2013
An Indiana woman falsely raided by a SWAT team is suing the city of Evansville and the police department after cops smashed down her door and threw flash grenades into her home in response to "threatening" Internet posts that she wasn't even responsible for.
"Police came up empty-handed in a search for evidence about threatening Internet posts but only after damaging the house, handcuffing the woman and her granddaughter and seizing their computers, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court at Evansville," reports the Courier Press.
Police claim the raid, which occurred back in June, was justified due to Internet posts traced back to 68-year-old Louise Milan's house which threatened to attack the police department, but the posts had been made by a suspected gang member who had hijacked Milan's wi-fi connection because it was not password protected.
The lawsuit states that the actions of the officers "were done with malicious intent to cause severe mental and emotional distress to Milan."
After smashing Milan's window and her storm door, police threw two flash grenades into the home before ordering Milan and her daughter onto the floor at gunpoint. The two were handcuffed and paraded in front of their neighbors before police seized computers and a cellphone.
The police even ensured that a news camera crew was there to document the raid in order to "memorialize" the incident.
Alleged gang member Derrick Murray, who lived nearby, later admitted to a federal court that he had used his smartphone to hijack Milan's wi-fi connection to make the threatening posts.
SWAT raids which turn out to target the wrong houses are a routine characteristic of America's increasing decline into a police state.
– In October last year, police in Middletown, Delaware searching for a "person of interest" raided Steve and Jennifer Tuppeny's house and held them at gunpoint before realizing they had the wrong house.
– In July 2010, a Minneapolis-St. Paul SWAT team raided the wrong house, shot the family dog and forced three children to sit next to the bleeding corpse of their beloved pet for over an hour.
– Police in Adams County, Colorado falsely raided the home of Jeff Fisher before shooting and killing his pet dog Ziggy when the animal attempted to run away.
– Lebanon, Tennessee resident John Adams was shot to death by cops as his wife was handcuffed in another room following another wrong house raid in September last year.
– A 12-year-old girl suffered second degree burns after police used flash grenades in executing a raid on a house in Billings, Montana last October over an alleged meth lab that never existed.
These are just a handful of cases from the last few years in what is turning into an epidemic of police abuse as a result of the failure to properly verify that such raids are targeting the right people.

Please note that some staff changes occurred during the year and not every member of staff can be confirmed as being at the school at the time.
Significant eventsEdit
The following are events occurring during the year were known to the average Hogwarts student.
Although attendance to Hogwarts was now mandatory, many students did not return during this school year for various reasons, including:
- Not being allowed because they were Muggle-borns, or were unable to prove their blood heritage.[citation needed]
- Having spattergroit, a contagious illness caught by Ron Weasley (Ron was actually quite well, he disguised the Weasley family ghoul to look like him so that he could help Harry Potter search for Horcruxes, though this is the only known occurrence of this).[citation needed]
- Harry Potter obviously could not return to Hogwarts, as he would have been given to Lord Voldemort before he entered the doors. Regardless, Harry chose not to return as he was searching out Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes.[citation needed]
The Battle of HogwartsEdit
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger Apparated into the main street of the village of Hogsmeade while wearing Harry's Cloak of Invisibility and were immediately detected by a group of Death Eaters due to the fact that they had triggered a Caterwauling Charm. They all tried to Apparate but they had been trapped because they had been bound by an anti-Apparation charm. The Death Eaters tried to reveal their whereabouts by Summoning the Cloak of Invisibility. The cloak, however, refused to be moved due to the fact that it was the cloak of legend from The Tale of the Three Brothers. The Death Eaters then sent Dementors to locate Harry so he had to produce a Patronus to send them away. Aberforth Dumbledore then hid them in the Hog's Head while he told the Death Eaters that he had produced the Patronus and had set off the Caterwauling Charm by letting his cat out. Aberforth led Harry, Ron and Hermione to a secret passage from his pub to the Room of Requirement where members of Dumbledore's Army had been hiding all year. Neville Longbottom came out of the passage and took them to Hogwarts.[citation needed]
Arrival at HogwartsEdit
When Neville Longbottom arrived at the Room of Requirement with Harry, Hermione and Ron, all the members of Dumbledore's Army who were hiding from the Carrows and Snape thought they had come back to fight the Death Eaters and Voldemort so they sent messages to many other former Hogwarts students, including many original members of Dumbledore's Army. Harry however informed them that they had come to search Hogwarts for Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem and that Lord Voldemort was on the way to try and stop them.[citation needed]
The trio split up once they had entered Hogwarts. Ron and Hermione travelled down into the Chamber of Secrets to obtain Basilisk venom filled fangs to destroy Helga Hufflepuff's Cup and any future Horcruxes that are found, while Harry went with Luna Lovegood to the Ravenclaw Common Room to have a look at a statue of Rowena Ravenclaw wearing her diadem. Alecto Carrow, the Muggle Studies teacher and Death Eater, appeared while the two were searching the room, but Luna Lovegood neutralised her. Minerva McGonagall arrived and summoned the other Heads of Houses. She then engaged in a fierce duel with Severus Snape and moments later Filius Flitwick and Pomona Sprout showed up, the three succeeded in driving Snape away. The students and staff gathered in the Great Hall as the rest of the Death Eaters arrived at the gates, accompanied by Voldemort himself.[citation needed]
Hogwarts was fortified for the coming attack. Order of the Phoenix members arrived, also summoned by Neville Longbottom. Students old enough to fight stayed and younger students were evacuated by Poppy Pomfrey and Argus Filch. Filius Flitwick, Minerva McGonagall and Pomona Sprout took groups of students to the tallest towers while Arthur Weasley, Remus Lupin and Kingsley Shacklebolt took others onto the Grounds. Fred and George Weasley defended Hogwarts' secret passages.[citation needed]
First part of the battleEdit
Voldemort magically magnified his voice so it was heard throughout Hogwarts and Hogsmeade to give those inside the castle the chance to hand Harry over to him or his Death Eaters and dark creatures would attack. When Pansy Parkinson suggested that they take the deal, practically every student, excluding the Slytherin students, in the hall threatened to curse her, and she was instructed to leave by Minerva McGonagall. Those not willing to fight or not of age (older than 17 years) were sent out of the school through the Hog's Head, particularly the students of Slytherin (who were sent out first).[citation needed]
Hogwarts was able to fend off the Death Eaters using an array of tactics, including mandrakes and other magical plants, bewitched armoured suits, and wand duels. The Death Eaters stormed Hogwarts, however, with the aid of the Acromantulas, Giants, Aurors and Ministry of Magic officials. It was in this part of the battle that Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Colin Creevey, and Lavender Brown were killed by Death Eaters.[citation needed]
Room of RequirementEdit
Harry, Ron, and Hermione found Ravenclaw's Diadem in the Room of Hidden Things transformation of the Room of Requirement. But before they could remove or destroy it, Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle arrived. Crabbe tried to kill Ron and Hermione with Killing Curses and accidentally destroyed Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem with Fiendfyre, also killing himself in the process.[1]
- "If you continue to resist me, you will all die, one by one. I do not wish this to happen. Every drop of magical blood spilled is a loss and a waste... I command my forces to retreat immediately. You have one hour... I speak now, Harry Potter, directly to you... I shall wait for one hour in the Forbidden Forest. If, at the end of that hour, you have not come to me, have not given yourself up, then battle recommences. This time, I shall enter the fray myself, Harry Potter, and I shall find you, and I shall punish every last man, woman, and child who has tried to conceal you from me. One hour."
- —Voldemort orders the one-hour ceasefire and retreat[src]
Using his connection with Voldemort's mind, Harry uncovered Voldemort's whereabouts in the Shrieking Shack. It was there that Harry witnessed Voldemort order Nagini to murder Severus Snape, believing that unless Snape was killed by him, he would not gain mastery over the Elder Wand. Snape's dying act was to pass on several of his memories to Harry. At this point, Voldemort ordered an hour-long ceasefire, with the request that Harry be turned over to his custody. If they did not turn him over, Voldemort declared he would personally enter the battle.[citation needed]
After viewing Snape's memories which revealed that Harry himself was, in fact, a Horcrux and that he needed to be killed for Lord Voldemort to die, Harry went into the Forbidden Forest to sacrifice himself. Before doing so, he used the Resurrection Stone to bring back his parents, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin for emotional support. Due to Voldemort's use of Harry's blood in the process of creating himself a new body in 1995 in the Little Hangleton graveyard, Harry survived the Killing Curse from Voldemort although he was briefly knocked unconscious.[citation needed]
In those unconscious moments, Harry spoke to the spirit of Albus Dumbledore, who explained that the bit of Voldemort's soul inside of Harry was gone, and he could choose to go back to the world of the living or go on into the world of the dead. Harry accepted the choice to return, and feigned death while Voldemort's forces cheered in assumed victory.[citation needed]
Fall of the Dark LordEdit
- Harry Potter: "...Snape never beat Dumbledore! Dumbledore's death was planned between them! Dumbledore intended to die undefeated, the wand's last true master! If all had gone as planned, the wand's power would have died with him, because he never had it won from him!"
- Lord Voldemort: "But then, Potter, Dumbledore as good as gave me the wand! I stole the wand from its last master's tomb! I removed it against its last master's wishes! Its power is mine!"
- Harry Potter: "...Didn't you listen to Ollivander? The wand chooses the wizard...The Elder Wand recognised a new master before Dumbledore died, someone who never laid a hand on it. The new master removed the wand from Dumbledore against his will, never realising exactly what he had done, or that the world's most dangerous wand had given him its allegiance...The true master of the Elder Wand was Draco Malfoy."
- — Harry revealing the true master of the Elder Wand to Voldemort during their final confrontation.[src]
After waking, Harry discovered that Voldemort had also been unconscious during those brief moments. Voldemort suffered an additional betrayal when Narcissa Malfoy volunteered to confirm that Harry was dead, when she truly only wanted to get close enough to him to ask if her son, Draco Malfoy was still alive. Upon learning of Draco's survival, Narcissa lied to the Dark Lord, saying that Harry Potter was in fact dead. After Rubeus Hagrid carried Harry's "corpse" back to Hogwarts, guided by the Death Eaters walking in a victory march, Neville Longbottom openly defied Lord Voldemort. The Dark Lord placed a spell on Neville, freezing him to the spot, placed the Sorting Hat atop his head, and set it aflame.[citation needed]
The centaurs and Grawp then attacked the Death Eaters, giving Harry time to disappear under his Invisibility Cloak in the confusion. Neville broke free of Voldemort's curse and pulled Godric Gryffindor's Sword from the Sorting Hat. In one stroke, Neville used the blade to behead Nagini, thus destroying the last of Voldemort's Horcruxes and rendering him mortal. Voldemort, alongside his now weakened army, forced his way into Hogwarts.[citation needed]
Additional Hogwarts allies arrived at this time: legions of knife-wielding house-elves led by Kreacher; the residents of Hogsmeade and the friends and families of every remaining student, all led by Charlie Weasley and Professor Slughorn. A flock of Thestrals led by Buckbeak, and the centaurs also threw themselves into the battle.[citation needed]
In the midst of all the chaos, Harry, hidden under the Invisibility Cloak, was buffeted into the Great Hall. Outnumbered and surrounded by people and creatures from both sides, the Death Eaters were cut down or run off by the forces of Hogwarts until only Bellatrix Lestrange and Voldemort remained. Bellatrix was killed by Molly Weasley, with whom she briefly dueled. Voldemort was furious at the loss of his best and last lieutenant, but Harry cast a Shield Charm between Molly and Voldemort before the latter could raise his wand. Harry then revealed himself to the survivors, giving them hope again.[citation needed]
The cheering crowd retreated to the walls of the hall and watched then as the two great enemies, Voldemort and Harry, bantered and circled each other. Harry revealed to Voldemort that Snape had always been a spy for Dumbledore, ever since Voldemort threatened Lily Potter's life. Harry also revealed that Snape was never the true master of the Elder Wand. It had been Draco Malfoy that was the rightful master, and that Harry had defeated Malfoy weeks ago, thereby gaining the allegiance of the Elder Wand.[citation needed]
Harry dared Voldemort to feel remorse as a chance of redemption, to which Voldemort instantly responded by casting a Killing Curse with the Elder Wand. Harry simultaneously cast his own Expelliarmus spell using Draco Malfoy's wand. However, because the Elder Wand rightfully belonged to Harry, the Killing Curse rebounded at Voldemort and ended his life once and for all. The Second Wizarding War had ended with a decisive victory for the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's Army.[citation needed]

Lifestyle, joie de vivre or lebensart – whatever you call it, Munich has it in spades. It might be down to the clear blue skies or simply the city's beauty, but one thing's for certain: the people of Munich always like to show their best side, whether they're in a beer garden, on one of the exclusive shopping streets, or in Bayern Munich's stadium.
A modern, cosmopolitan city with a big heart and a long heritage, as suave as it is easygoing, buzzing and yet tranquil. Munich is Germany's lifestyle capital. You don't have to be rich and beautiful to feel right at home in Munich, but it doesn't hurt. Besides, these characteristics aren't confined to strict dictionary definitions. Rich is he who has the time to leisurely amble through the splendid city centre, stopping here and there just to soak up the atmosphere. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all. That said, undoubtedly one of the most beautiful squares in Germany has to be Marienplatz square – it is the heart of Munich and is home to the Old and New Town Halls. The town hall glockenspiel is as much part of Munich's identity as the Hofbräuhaus beer hall or the iconic Church of Our Lady, whose green dome-crested towers can be seen for miles around. Browsing the stalls of the Viktualienmarkt is a feast for all the senses. There's simply everything on offer at the city's famous food market – from traditional Bavarian specialities to exotic delicacies. But take note, bargaining and haggling have no place in the Munich lifestyle – so don't be tempted to try, least of all on the luxury shopping boulevards such as Ludwigstrasse, Maximilianstrasse, Kaufinger Strasse or the Tal. Everything on sale in these streets has a high price to match its high quality, from the latest fashions to wonderful antiques. For a far more affordable, not to mention more relaxed, shopping experience, head to Munich's pub and club quarter, which is no longer confined to the trendy Schwabing district, but also extends around Glockenbachviertel, Gärtnerplatz square and Müllerstrasse. The area is as renowned for its party atmosphere as it is for its alternative shops, its relaxed atmosphere and its vibrant LGBT scene.
A trip to the English Garden doesn't cost you a penny and Munich's very own piece of paradise, situated between the Isar and the city centre, is the ultimate chill-out zone. From lazing around or watching people master the latest craze of slacklining (better still, have a go yourself) to the insane fun of surfing the Eisbach river, anything goes in the park. Add to that two of Munich's most beautiful beer gardens, one at the Chinese Pagoda, the other at a picturesque lakeside spot, and you've got the perfect recipe for a relaxing afternoon. These are the beer gardens where you'll find an eclectic crowd who live life to the full in the shade of ancient chestnut trees. That's the Munich way. The beer gardens came to be called cellars or keller – as in Salvatorkeller, Löwenbräukeller and Hofbräukeller – because brewers once kept their beer underground to keep it cool and soon hit upon the idea of selling it from the very same spot. This was the start of a sacred tradition that, as luck would have it, is alive and well among locals today.
The people of Munich are also proud of the city's museums, many of which are of international standing, such as the Deutsches Museum, the world's biggest science and technology museum, the Alte Pinakothek, the Neue Pinakothek, the Pinakothek der Moderne and the Lenbachhaus Museum. Then there's the Glyptothek Museum, the State Collections of Antiques and the Brandhorst Museum with its breathtaking collection of modern art from 1945 onwards. Here in Munich's Art Quarter, however, you'll also find charming little bars, cosy cafés and pretty boutiques, yet another example of how the Munich lifestyle combines culture with the finer things in life. The BMW Museum has the city's automotive heritage covered, while the stars of Bayern Munich show teams visiting the Allianz Arena another side to the city's unique lifestyle: what it's like to always be on top. Even if you're not a Bayern Munich fan, it's still well worth trying to get a ticket to see them play. The stadium atmosphere alone is world-class and guaranteed to give you goosebumps. And you won't be surprised to discover that the Allianz Arena is one of the world's most spectacular stadiums. It is, after all, in Munich.

What's better than a store-bought valentine with your name on it? Add a little something sweet to make it a valentine to remember. Sure, you can buy pretty candy at just about any store this time of the year, but you can also get creative and make it yourself.
Choosing Chocolate
Depending on what you want to try, a visit to a crafts store might be a good idea. There you will find lots of candy molds in fun shapes. It's easy to use molds to make special chocolates. Check out these directions at WondermintKids for making molded chocolates with a microwave (easier) or on a stove. You will need molds, a grown-up's help, and, of course, chocolate! If using a microwave, check and stir the chocolate after every 30 seconds of cooking.
An Easy Holiday Treat
Take extra thick Oreo cookies, put a (new) lollipop stick or popsicle stick in the middle, dip them in melted chocolate, then after they've cooled on wax paper, take a different color of chocolate such as pink or white, and drizzle it on top. If you like, you can add another layer of mini M&M's, Heath Bar crunch, or anything else. Chocolate in different colors is often available in button shapes for melting at craft and chocolate stores. You can make these for all kinds of holidays, just by changing the colors.
Got Sweethearts? Make a Candy Wreath
If you are old enough to craft with a hot glue gun, this simple candy wreath idea from Better Homes and Gardens is a perfect present for someone special. Take any size of Styrofoam wreath form (available in the crafts section or a special crafts store). Pick some pretty, wide ribbon and wrap the wreath so that no foam shows. Secure the ribbon with hot glue. Then add lots of conversation hearts (best in different sizes) to the outside of the wreath, attaching them with dabs of hot glue. You can use glue to stack the hearts in loose layers on top of each other for a nice effect.
Can't Eat Sugar—or Something Else?
There are people who can't eat sugar. For them, a special kind of sweet treat might be best. Think about using sugar-free chocolate for your crafting. Some companies that produce sugar-free chocolate for candy making are Van Leer and CandyLandCrafts.com. Their chocolate is available to order online. Chocoley is one company that is careful to keep its products free of many allergens.
Sweet Reading!
Maybe you'll take some of these ideas and have a Sweet Valentine party with your family and friends. When the treats are all made and good to go, settle in with a delicious book:
Candy Construction: How to Build Edible Race Cars, Castles, and Other Cool Stuff Out of Store-bought Candy! by Sharon Bowers

Title was a little hard to work, but take this as an example.
User goes to site, creates account, and then has his/her own profile to edit. Let's say the profile includes height, weight, sex, eye color, etc..
I've really only used wordpress before, but I'm sure something else would cater to this better. The entire site is focused around a person having their own profile page with the info they supply.
